Through the Barricades Spandau Ballet

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
See it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles
She shows the lines of sacrifice

And now I know what they're saying
As our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school

I learned it off by heart
But now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets

And now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
